Sherry

Show me roses summer fair,
Or light of star and sun,
I know Sherry everywhere;
There is no fairer One.

Take I left or take I right,
Or take I up or down,
Sherry's smile is in my sight,
And all my fair be found.

Vow me hours singing sweet,
Or rhyme me verses dear,
None of these is so complete
As "I love Sherry" here.

Stack me gold, record me praise,
Or cast me towers high,
I would cut down half my days
To have my Sherry nigh!

Classical quatrains with a wistful feel of the past... fine rhyming and flow. This could easily have been written by Yeats. BRAVO Brian! Best wishes, Keith
